My son had gone through several coaches (including Grandmasters) and wasn’t making much progress. Alex was so responsive after I contacted IChessU. He was so attentive to my questions and concerns. He perfectly matched my son with John Marble, who is truly a treasure. John’s commitment and dedication to his students, as well as his passion for chess, are unparalleled. He takes the time to customize the lessons and focuses on exactly what my son needs. He is also a tremendous source of encouragement. He goes above and beyond, addressing all my questions about tournaments. 2 months after starting with John, my son won his first tournament! We are thrilled to be part of the IChessU family!

When I started to attend IchessU my knowledge of chess was very basic: how to move each piece and a bit off game play. After few lessons I am starting to understand logic behind chess…

IchessU helped me to gain a better understanding of positions. Now I only need to implement this knowledge in my tournament games.

Cocoro
Cocoro won the first place at the regional(Ile de France) qualifications for the French Championship under 8(French calls it “Petits Poussins”). Winning the first prize is so exciting… John is very nice, Cocoro likes very much to work with him.

Greg Way
I enjoyed the lesson about pinning very much. It was explained thoroughly and I believe my chess game will improve immediately because of learning the value of the pin. I am both humbled by my ignorance and excited about learning. Thank you for your patience and for giving me the opportunity to learn.

Jim Bedenbaugh
The lessons are great; example games help with imagining how to play. The coach always spends extra time with me and I appreciate that.

Kieran
I am very pleased with IchessU Chess School organized, positive teaching style. Kieran looks forward to his lessons and loves the “homework”.It’s a wonderful opportunity for a home-educated child from a rural location to be able to meet with a chess instructor of IchessU Chess School calibers via the internet. I would highly recommend this learning opportunity to anyone but especially to home-educated children.

The coach I am assigned has an impressive chess resume. I feel fortunate to receive tutelage from such an accomplished player. Thank you.

Ryan Stevens
Just wanted to let you know I came second in the Queensland State Chess Championships. I held a draw with an international master (2401) in the final round. Vlado would kill me if he saw the final position because I was completely winning. We both only had a minute left on our clocks so I was nervous to press to hard. He won’t be so lucky in the future.

Finn Flavin
I just wanted to say thank you to Finn’s coach, Vlado, for helping Finn improve in his game play. Thanks to our coach, Finn achieved 4.5 out of 5 points and was tied for second place with one other player in the 29th Collyer Memorial Tournament. This tournament wasn’t for the prizes, it was to get a good experience playing with other players.

Ethan
First I thank Emir, he really did a great job for Ethan. He cleared all of his doubts and also he helped him to build interest in chess , which was incredible.
